A man has used artificial intelligence to imagine what some of Glastonbury's top acts would look like doing “normal” jobs.
The hilarious pictures show Elton John on a supermarket checkout, Arctic Monkeys’ frontman Alex Turner as a milkman and Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns N Roses, as a mechanic.
Creator Duncan Thomsen, from Brighton, said he was very happy with the results.
The 53-year-old freelance film editor said: "They actually look really real - they look just like them.
"I did them all in about a day but you can work on one of these for up to a few days. They look quite retro which wasn't intentional but they look very cool."
Popstar Lana Del Rey is also featured as policewoman, rocker Slash can be seen working as a fast food chef and Kelis in a drive-through.
"I particularly like the second one of Elton when he's looking over his shoulder - it looks just like him,” said Duncan.
"I also think the one of Alex Turner as a 1960s milkman looks really cool. It really fits his vibe. If he was around in the 60s I think he would be a milkman.
"Lana Del Rey also quite simply looks so cool as a policewoman. That one turned out very well."
AI responds to prompts and commands set by the user and creates pictures by referencing billions of images online.

Duncan uses the software Midjourney to make his own hyper-realistic photos.
He added: "It can be quite a lengthy process but the results are fantastic.
"I've been to Glastonbury myself 13 times but didn't manage to get a ticket this year which is a shame as the line-up is clearly fantastic.
"These pictures are just a way to join the fun and I'm very happy with how realistic and fun they are."
Duncan has “a lot of fun” with AI, having previously generated a selfie of Jesus and his disciples.
He has also used the software to create the “perfect” Love Island contestants by merging previous winners of the show.
